Our start at Laru Beya started off a little rough for a variety of reasons, mostly being our rental car breaking down just as we arrived at LB. We were happy it happened here! Wynand and Brett were incredibly helpful with trying to get us settled so that we could enjoy our vacation. Wynand reassured us that there was nothing... More

We were lucky enough to spent 2 days here in an ocean view room....The sound of the water lulling us to sleep.....The staff, including the friendly bartender Manny and front desk manager Wiant couldn't have been nicer. The Belizian breakfasts with fresh fruit including the Quarterdack smoothie were fantastic......We rented a car for the day to go to a Mayan... More

I hate to write a "bad" review of a hotel, but this was disappointing from arrival to departure, with the exception of the restaurant. For $240 USD, I expected far more. To start, the airport transfer that we had pre-arranged (it's an option on their reservation website!) did not materialize. After sitting at the Placencia airport getting no answer from... More

We love Laru Beya, having stayed several times over the yrs. I found our unit clean, freshly painted and well stocked. we were literally 60-75 ft from the beach. The pool was super clean, and the staff meet all of our needs. being our first trip in January I was surprised at the cool nights and super clear sky. We... More

After a good crossing from San Pedro and fun flight from Belize City, we were disappointed on arrival at Laru Beya. It is a worn hotel and our room (Garden View-202) was ''around the back'', very basic and itself worn. A small TV and coffee/tea are provided but no breakfast. No chairs, no table; what is in the room looks... More

My family of five stayed at Laru Beya during this past Christmas break and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Laru Beya provided a wonderful combination of beautiful accommodations, beach-front luxury, friendly and accommodating service, great breakfast, appropriate size, and good location. We had a car and were able to go into Placencia most evenings for dinner for a change of pace since... More

My family of 6 spent three nights here at this fantastic resort after Christmas. Had we know that it would be the most relaxing, fun-filled, friendly resort we had ever visited we would have spent the week here. We all agree that it is one of our favorite spots on the planet. The management is friendly, hands-on, knowledgeable, and accommodating.... More

My wife and I spent but one spectacular day here before sailing the reef, yet it moved us to add Laru Beya to our select list of favorite spots on the planet. Wynand made us feel like royalty, and Manny in the bar introduced us to Kriol. The entire staff was warm, welcoming, accommodating. We thought the restaurant turned out... More

The staff is not only super helpful, but they are super friendly. The restaurant serves top of the line tasting food. The best hotel in Placencia. End of story. Ted the manager knows every guest by name and will provide you with anything you need that's legal. More

I stayed a night at Laru Beya in the McCaw/Cau unit with a garden view in early December. The meals are served in a nearby or adjacent building by a lovely, warm and welcoming staff. The food is prepared very well and served with care--nothing is forgotten. And this isn't the reknown 5 star locale you may see in a... More
